TO-71 heatsink...

[pinnocchio]

Hi,

I'm looking for heatsinks for TO-71 package but it does not seem to exist anymore... Can anyone tell me if there's something that can fit at Digikey or Mouser?

It is for 2N5566

Thanks
Do

I have a couple of old 1980 Maplin amplifiers with round can transistors with round heat sinks on them.
You can still buy round heat sinks with flat bottoms which you could superglue to the can.

Mouser part number 532-322400B00 should work.

Thanks! I'll order a few of them and see if they fit.

Wow! That was some time ago! LOL

Actually, I totally forgot about ordering these heatsinks. Good you reminded me! I will place it in the next order.

Thanks

. Let us know how it works out. I have some TO-71 dual FETs I need to heat sink. BTW I have in my hand some of these TO-92 heat sinks, and they fit but you will need a dab of thermal adhesive to make sure they are permanently secure.

Just bought them but haven't tried yet. I'll get back on that project later on.
